Back in the day 50% of owners who couldn't find alloys to suit their car opted for compomotives TH. VW owners just got BBS lattice offerings. Both often looked like wheel trims.

Ive got the standard 16" 3 spokes on my gt4 , quite like them because their original plus it handles so much better than bigger wheels because the car was designed to be on 16"s

Had a set of them on my old Escort RS Turbo in 1999, I'm rather embarrassed to say!

Seemed popular back in the 90's, but not today and not on an Impreza.

these wheels are the most 'trailer park' you can go here in SA. but taste differs, i guess.
